The leadership believes that Paredos fled to his relatives in the Philippines.

Data arrive one week after ARTICLES a grand jury report that more than 300 Catholic priests who worked in the US state of Pennsylvania over the past 70 years have corrupted more than a thousand children.

This investigation was a new round in a long series of scandals related to the embezzlement of minors by Catholic priests - one of the loudest and most massive occurred about 20 years ago in Boston.

It is unclear when Paredes disappeared, although according to the data, some parishioners thought he was still living in the church until Bishop Edward Burns published this news during Sunday mass.

The church claims that Paredos left the church in June 2017, when he confessed to financially misappropriated embezzlement from $ 60 000 to $ 80 000 from the treasury of the church.

It was reported that after the news of the theft of church money, sexual misconduct was reported against three teenagers.

Earlier this year, Pope Francis apologized to the victims of abuse in Chile for the “grave mistakes” that he made when dealing with statements about the alleged violence over children.
